The United Football League held its 2024 College Draft on Wednesday afternoon and several members of the Las Vegas Raiders' 2024 undrafted free agent class were taken by teams.
Per the UFL's X page, defensive end Amari Gainer, wide receiver Lideatrick Griffin, offensive tackle Andrew Coker, cornerback Ja'Quan Sheppard and cornerback Rayshad Williams were all drafted into the league.
Gainer was taken in the fifth round by the Arlington Renegades, Griffin went in the sixth round to the San Antonio Brahmas, Coker was drafted in the seventh round by the Stallions, and Sheppard and Williams were eighth-round picks by the Memphis Showboats and Houston Roughnecks, respectively.
While being drafted into the UFL does not alter these players' plans in the NFL, it does provide a nice fallback option if things don't work out. As we saw earlier this offseason, plenty of UFL players were able to earn themselves NFL contracts thanks to standout showings during the 2024 campaign.
Sheppard in particular landed one of the most significant UDFA deals on the team. Griffin was top five in the group in terms of guaranteed money and signing bonus, while Coker was top five in the later category.
Considering the question marks the Raiders have at cornerback, there's at least a shot that either Sheppard or Williams make the cut. Griffin's chances took a big hit after Las Vegas added Jalen Guyton and Michael Gallup in free agency.
